The Isness is PURE BRILLIANCE!

I can't believe what a fantastic album this is! I know it's
different, but after only two listens I was completely
hooked on this album.

Anyone else feel the same way?

I liked the album, but feel the lyrics were a bit
pretentious, and the overabundant use of traditional eastern
instruments was somewhat self indulgent.

i downloaded 'the mello hippo disco show' some time ago and
was listening to it in repeat... i almost bought the album,
but when i heard that sample of 'galaxial pharmaceutical'
with the laughters... hem. °_°

I'm always made uncomfortable by this kind of overly slavish
retro/homage sort of thing, especially when it doesn't add
much to the original. Why not just listen to some good old
Pink Floyd and Beatles?

Now on the other hand, when a band takes a genre and does
their own thing with it, that can be cool, like what The
Cramps did to rockabilly.

I'm the same as Woofer, I didn't care for it. Although,
it's definitely cool that their trying out new things under
the AA guise. I want to hear some more shit that was on
ISDN and Dead Cities, that sound rules.

Its a fucking brilliant masterpiece, I almost my favourite
FSOL album, its easily the FSOL album that I listened to
most.

Just blaze a fat one and enjoy, its almost made to smoke
skunk to.

I am the same as many..on first listen I didnt mind it but
each successive listen revealed naff goofiness of it
all..now I cant stop giggling when I hear it..not quite the
response I previously reserved for FSOL...Dead Cities
remains the king.

to it for the third time now!! i love it ^^

yes the laughters and cuckoos in galaxial pharmaceutical are
really naff and sitcom-like, but that's the only wrong part
of it... : )
